SATURDAY
I
The dance of the Ou Club in

turned out to be a very pleasant
aff nr, although the attendance was
lighter than had been expected.
About 35 were present, most of
whom were ladies. The party was
made up principally of local people.
The decorations were very pret
ty, Hawaiian orange vine predomi
nating in the scheme.
Things were jollied up by a few
round dances, and during the even
ing all of the new dances were in
troduced. In the absence of Mr. Hanne
stad, H. Vincent officiated as floor
master. Miss Wilcox and Miss
Jordan received the guests.
The new Maliua orchestra, which
is being coached by J. II . Coney

Chairman Forbes, Colonel Chas.
J. McCarthy and T. M. Church,
of the Harbor Commission, arrived
at Lihue by the Kinau Wednesday
morning and spent the time from
then to Saturday afternoon look
ing over various public matters of
immediate interest.
Soon after landing they took an
auto for Hanalei for the purposa
of examining the wharf projects
on that side. The wharf at Hana
lei, which has recently received
some attention at the hands of the
commission, was gone over, as
was also the site of the abandoned
wharf at Auahola.
The following day Thursday
the three gentlemen left for Hoi oa,
where they interviewed various
interests in regard to the new
wharf proposed for that place. .
KOLOA WHARF NOT.
From the opinions received
the commissioners practically came
to the conclusion that the expendi
ture of a large sum for a new
wharf at Koloa at the present time
was not justified by the amount of
business in sight for such a wharf,
a large part of the freight arriving
at and leaving Koloa being trans
ported over the Kauai Railway
via Port Allen; and there being
no likelihood of a change in this
arrangement as a result of a new
wharf.
The conclusion was, therefore,
reached to continue the use of the
present facilities, the understand
ing being that they will be im
proved by the owners in certain
particulars.
THE WAIMEA WHARF
The Waimea wharf propo
s i t i o n was gone into quite
thoroughly, those immediately a
interest being consulted. It was
decided to take the matter up
further with the agents of Mrs.
Knudsen and others, at Honolulu,
with a view to obtaining a satis-
factory settlement of property
rights involved before a beginning
is made.
On Friday the Commissioners
went over the entire line of the
proposed new railroad from the
VVaipouli homesteads to Ahukini,
and later Nawiliwili. Thev were
accompanied on that tour by Pres
ident Isenberg, of the Lihue
Plantation Company, and others
Luncheon was had at the residence
of Mr. Cheatheam, the commis
sioners spending most of the day
in the neighborhood and returning
to Lihue at night.
HOMESTEAD ROAD
Saturday morning the party set
off to look over the situation
around Kalaheo, examining par
ticularly the new road which has
been built aronnd Kukuilono park
for the benefit of the later home
steaders. They returned in time to
catch the steamer in the afternoon
for Honolulu, haying had a very
strenuous, but, apparently, a very
profitable tour in the wav of much
information gathered.
Mr. Forbes, besides being chair
man of the Harbor Commission, is
Superindentent of Public Works.
Colonel McCarthy, a member of
the Commission, is Territorial
Treasurer. Mr. Church is head
of the merchandise department of
Messrs. Alexander & Baldwin,
